Celebrating the art of the title sequence

I love a good title sequence.
I love the efficiency; maximum meaning, minimum time.
I love the density; multiple images in simultaneity demanding deper more complex relationships to be forged by the viewer.
I love the audacity; the simultaneous definace and celebration of cinematic language and the crafting of the hybrid new.
I love the diversity; the sheer span of posssibilities thrown up by the humble Alpha-chanel that makes layered composition possible.
I love the fun; the playfullness, the celebration of light, movement, texture and form.

abduzeedo.com has assembled a fantastic collection of 7 title sequences from an ecclectic array of sources.


Comments:

I feel exactly the same way. In fact, there are some films whose title sequences are more interesting than the actual film. At one point I began collecting title sequences, but there were so many I just gave up.

I've always admired filmmakers who pay particular attention to the title sequence (and end title sequence as well).

Couple favs: "Blood +", "Bullitt" and "Repo Man".
